A South Florida woman succeeded with the unheard of when she was able to get her mortgage wiped out by a lender. In an effort to save her mother’s home, Idania Castro waged a two-year battle with the bank.

The woman, who took it upon herself to go through every document related to the mortgage, finally discovered robo-signing. She said the signatures on her foreclosure documents appeared to have been signed by different people. “The signatures varied five times and it made me suspicious,” she said.(1)

With the help of attorney Omar Arcia, she won her case. The lender decided to stop all legal proceedings against her because the documents were deemed fraudulent. Castro now owes nothing.

“The moment that we brought that information to light and we brought it to the judge, the parties resolved the case and in that particular case the bank agreed to forgive her entire mortgage debt,” Arcia said.

The attorney stressed the importance of investigating. “You have to do your legwork and find out if there is anything wrong that was done in connection with your transaction,” Arcia said. “You may have something that you can go back to the bank with and either negotiate better terms for your loan or sometimes get your mortgage wiped out altogether.”
